CNN contributor and Daily Beast columnist Sally Kohn weighs in on the terrorist attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris:

Christians or Jews killing in name of religion = ExtremistsBut Muslims killing in name of religion = All Muslims??!Come on…

And as you might imagine, Tweeters aren’t on board with her argument. At all:

When was the last time any Christian or Jew killed in the name of their religion? On a mass scale like this even? Hello, @sallykohn?

@sallykohn This is straw man bullshit, NOBODY is saying ALL Muslims support this.

@sallykohn Which Christians and Jews are doing that?

@sallykohn Remember when Christians went on a killing rampage after the "Piss Christ" artwork was displayed? Neither do I.

Name some, you loathsome ghoul. RT @sallykohn: Christians or Jews killing in name of religion = Extremists

@sallykohn You're the only one saying "all Muslims." Extreme #Islam isn't a religion of peace. Not at all

.@sallykohn Yes, at this point it must be acknowledged that Islam is, at the very least, a silent partner in these terrorist attacks.

There you go again. Move those goal posts, erect straw men… @sallykohn

.@sallykohn Yeah, Sally, Christians and Jews kill in the name of religion so often. Cool that you get paid for your smart takes.
